Conception Bay North ~ Harbour Main District

Holyrood Central and South Side Landowners Circa 1900

The document below was transcribed by EILEEN WALSH and EVELYN MORRISSEY. While we have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there could be some typographical errors.

Note: This is not a complete listing of landowners in the area. For example, the SALMONIER ROAD is approximately 11km long (about 7 miles) and the map covers the 2km stretch beginning at the OLD MAIN ROAD. NEWTOWN is not shown on this map. The properties on the WITLESS BAY ROAD (now the HOLYROOD ACCESS ROAD) are listed for about the first km. The South Side properties begin around the area of SHORE ROAD (now REFINERY ROAD), which runs parallel to the Main Road. The properties have been listed for about a 2km stretch, leaving an unlisted gap of about 4-6km to the town limits at DUFFS.
